Classic Car Overview

For many, the Triumph TR6 is the pinnacle of the traditional British roadster. It has a powerful inline six motor and fully independent suspension, so its the perfect mix of vintage, nimble, and fun all for quite an obtainable price. While all classic British roadsters are attractive, the deep red seen on this one seems to perfectly convey sportiness and sophistication - all in the first glance. As you start to look around the car, be on the lookout for some subtle features that give this a more aggressive and individual style. The front chin spoiler, cats eye headlight covers, and quad exhaust tips do a great job of adding sporty appeal without taking away from the classic British panache. And the TR6 really has a ton of style. The way the hood and the fender join to integrate the headlight housing; the stylish profile kick-up within the doors; and the racing-inspired flat rear end with a hint of overhang its all what makes this true sporty style on wheels. The black convertible top looks great against the deep red exterior, and with one hand you can fold it back to show off an equally well-coordinated back interior. A car like this is meant to be open to the world, so not only do the black components look great, but there are some nice detail touches, too. For example, the walnut grain wood on the dash is a premium look that also coordinates nicely with the rest of the black components. And the retro-style radio adds a modern AM/FM digital tuner without looking out of place in a 70s machine. But more than just look nice, this is a true drivers machine. You feel it the moment you slip into the bucket seat. Your left hand loves the sports steering wheel, and your right arm finds an ideal balance with the armrest center console and the stick shift in the perfect position. Plus, it wouldnt be a true British classic without a full set of Smiths gauges. The TR6 is particularly coveted for its motor. It has 2.5-liter inline-six backed by dual Stromberg carburetors, so its one of the most powerful lightweight British roadsters of the era. You can tell this has been treated correctly by the tidy presentation in the engine bay. And as you dig deeper, youll see details like crisp belts wires, and hoses. Theres even an aluminum radiator with electric fan to help keep it running cool. The motor fires up nicely and knows how to pull this lightweight machine with real authority. This powerful acceleration is in your full control thanks to the four-speed manual transmission. Take the long way home, and youll instantly fall in love with the way the fully independent sport suspension and front disc brakes handle in this roadster. The full feeling is a hypnotic experience that will instantly remind you why the British are known for driving passion. A well-finished European classic droptop like this has serious appeal, and so at a price like this, you know you need to hurry if you want to take it home. Call today!!!
